VVER-1000 V-320 nuclear heat- and power plant

Description
This mod is the combined VVER-1000 V-320 nuclear heat- and power plant (NHPP). This plant is based on the already released VVER-1000 V-320 NPP and is now upgraded with a heat extraction application, which is a separate free placeable building to be found under heating plants. I tried it do design the heating part as close as possible to the original originally proposed units. The personal need is close to the original amount needed to run the VVER-1000. The main carachteristics of the plant are as follows:
- 80 workers needed (+30 workers for the heating application)
- 70 engineers needed
- 4720 MWh/d of power (-500 MWh/d for the heating part in case of full heating load)
- 10 High Voltage connections
- 16 big heating connections
- 1 road connection with three loading spaces (for power and heat section each)
- 1 rail connection directly to the reactor unit
- 2 factory connections
- storing space for nuclear fuel containers
- storing space for nuclear waste containers

HOW TO BUILD? First, build the power section of the plant, which can be found unmder the power plant section. Second, build the heating section, which can be found under heating plants. To place it correctly, take a look inside the reactor building. Arrange the cross exactly with the cross inside the rector building and make sure heat connections are on the machine building backside. Important note: You can't build only one section because it will be look ugly, because the heat section comprises the transformer part of the plant, while the rest will be inside the power section.

The main design of the plant based on Minsk and Odessa nuclear heat- and power plant, the main skin in use is Balakovo NPP, more skins can be fonund in this skin mod: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2380162204

To make the units more close to the original, this plant will need two cooling towers per unit. The power output will be nearly the same like the VVER-1000 V-320 NPP, but for the NHPP, power supply will be lower when heating load is needed mainly during the cold seasons. During the summer, it's possible to extract the full power of the plant.

HOW TO BUILD IT ORIGINALLY? So it's very easy. The plants originally arranged in a row with 210 meter spacing betwen the axis of each unit. So one rectengular tile of the map is 10x10 meter, so you need to count 21 of it to get 210 meter for spacing.

EN: The VVER-1000 V-320 is a pressurized water reactor, developed in the Soviet Union. These power plants where build in Russa, Ukraine, Bulgaria, Czech Republic - some units where cancelled or never build because of the collapse of the USSR. During the soviet times, 6 possible nuclear heat- and power plants where proposed for Odessa, Minsk, Kharkov and later for Kiev, Leningrad and Volgograd. After the Chernobyl accident in 1986, because of new siting laws, all combined generation plants of this type where cancelled because of the need for close siting to large cities.

DE: Der WWER-1000 V-320 ist ein Druckwasserreaktor, entwickelt in der Sowjetunion. Diese Kraftwerke wurde in Russland, Ukraine, Bulgarien und Tschechien gebaut - einige Blocke wurden storniert oder nie gebaut wegen dem Zusammenbruch der UdSSR. Während der Sowjetzweit, 6 mögliche Kernheizkraftwerke wurden vorgesehen für Odessa, Minsk und Charkiw, sowie später für Kiew, Leningrad und Wolgograd. Nach dem Tschernobyl-Unfall 1986, wegen neuen Platzierungsgesetzen, alle kombinierten Kernheizkraftwerke dieses typs wurden storniert wegen der nötigen Platziergung nahe großer Städte.

Because now it's a bit out of line with the regular vver

Will you also update this mod for water and sewage?

something not very good is currently hapening at this specific power station :D

Very nice job! "I love nuclear power!" Bill Gates said.

Автору спасибо за данный мод! очень подходит для создания 4-х энергоблоков Балаковской АЭС, ещё бы административное здание в комплект - и совсем красота будет.

Very good, i was thinking about making a heat exchanger you could just connect to the cooling tower chain. This is a bit more realistic.

Many nuclear plants however, did not have cooling towers. They used a river, like ignalina.
So maybe that would be something.

Tolle Leisung!

Really innovative!
I like this one. My new favourite NPP!
Keep up the good work!

@Vikom: Yes, Bohunice A-1 was a very unique design of it's kind, four similar designs where ever built worldwide. The plant suffered serious technical promblems since it has some very special operation behaviours. The second big accident was at the end a partial meltdown and the fuel caught some fire at the bottom, destroying the heavy water moderator tank and damaged the gas ciruit uneconomical for repair - also the VVER.440 plant where already under construction.

I have some cutaways of the plant, but only one has some measurements. There is still much missing documentation about this plant, that is public available. I already proposed to model it, but this is a similar difficult project like the BN reactor series.
